About Me

My name is Arif and I am from India.
I am a budget traveler and culture explorer who wants to experience world through the eyes of locals.
I love meeting new people, listening to their stories, trying local food, and engaging in cultural exchange.
I see Couchsurfing not just as a way to get free accommodation, but as a platform for trust, friendship, and cultural sharing.
I am a responsible, clean, and respectful guest.
If you'd like, I can:
Share Indian culture/travel tips
Help you practice your language

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on a zero-budget trip in world and want to have an authentic experience by staying with locals instead of in hotels.
My belief is:
“Travel is not about places, it’s about people.”
